Process
1. Decide what area interests you most.
2. Construct a question that outlines what area you are looking into.
This could include the differing policies of the US, Britain, Russia, Germany, France and China.
What major historical events prior to the 'intervention' could have had an impact? Do you think this garnered support for the war?
Why did the UN secretary general Kofi Annan say, before the war, in reference to America's intention to go to war with Iraq, "If this action is to take place without the support of the Council, its legitimacy will be questioned..."?
3. Research the web
You do not have to go beyond the web links given, nor do you have to read everything on the page. Seek out the relevant information to the question you are asking.
The Constitutional Rights Foundation
Provides a variety of web links concerning the War in Iraq. Some issues addressed in the site are the profile of Iraq, prewar developments, Bush doctrine, antiwar momvement, and analysis of media coverage.
Impact of the war, details on the military forces, both Iraq and US coalition, maps, videos and photos, news stories.
Links to further resources such as the use of space based technologies in the war, potential for a nuclear arms race, Iraqi weapon history, and the history of Iraq weapon inspection.
Mount Holyoak page on The Iraqi Conflict
A huge amount of links with information on the history of US / Iraq relations, details of Iraq and oil (including some primary sources), transcripts of interviews and CIA involvement links.
Expert analysis of Iraq and the Bush doctrine.
Great visual timeline.
Search the site for 'Iraq' to get a huge variety of articles. Particulary interesting is the 'Iraq: What Now'? page.
4. From the research you have done, make a judgement. Were the US and British forces justified in going into Iraq? Is there evidence? Was it the US and Britain or the UN that failed to comply with what needed to be done in the face of the Iraqi crisis?
